LeBron James Retirement Odds: Will He Retire Before the Next NBA Season?

LeBron James is gearing up for his 23rd NBA season.
This week, the Los Angeles Lakers star teased a major announcement on social media, calling it “The Second Decision” -- a nod to his 2010 televised special where he revealed his move to the Miami Heat. The post sparked speculation that he might be retiring.
Instead, "The Second Decision” turned out to be a lighthearted announcement of a new advertising partnership.
Still, with LeBron well into his second decade in the league, could the 2025-26 NBA season be his last year before retirement?
